Installation
Py-sdvb is now available on PyPI. Use pip
(python3 version) to install:
pip3 install py-sdvb
Prerequisites for manual installation
This package is based on PyStarDict
(https://github.com/lig/pystardict).
Programs are tested for python3 on Mac OS X.
Usage
Get the dictionaries
Put all the dictionaries in the directory ~/.stardict/
. If you have been
using tools like stardict or sdcv, you probably have already had the
dictionaries stored there.
pysdvb
This is the primary program to help building your vocabulary, by generating a list of words together with their translations.
Run pysdvb
like this:
pysdvb [-s] [-h]
Use the [-h]
option for help.
The -s
option provides a mode to choose dictionary. Otherwise, all the
dictionaries are used.
You will then be prompted with REGEX:
, which askes you to input regular
expressions for search.
pysdcv
This is an interactive command line dictionary tool, basically an analog of sdcv.
pysdcv
$PATH
Manually add to If not using pip
to install, probably you need these commands:
ln -s /path/to/py_sdvb/pysdvb/sdvb.py /usr/local/bin/pysdvb
ln -s /path/to/py_sdvb/pysdvb/sdcv.py /usr/local/bin/pysdcv
